Carlson’s povI got out of the police station and got into my car, smiling to myself. These losers had no idea who they were messing with. Before I could turn my car on, my phone rang. Picking it up, I saw it was an unknown number. I cussed within myself. If this was Charlotte, I would make sure she paid because she’s the reason I’m in this mess.I picked it up and waited for a while, without hearing anything.“Charlotte, if this is you, I swear to God…”“It’s not Charlotte,” the person’s voice came off. It was a man’s voice but I didn’t know who it belonged to.“Who is this?” I asked.“No one you should worry about,” the person said.I shrugged. “Okay, then what do you want?”“You messed with the wrong person.” Before I could talk, the call went off. I looked at my phone. This was weird. Who would call me to threaten me? Did they know who I was? I was fucking Carlson. I was a billionaire. No one threatens me. I threaten others.With a scoff, I tossed my phone to the side and drove of

Eloise’s pov“I don’t have a recorder. I don’t do well with recordings. But I do well with the truth, Carlson. And right now, you have to stop whatever it is you’re doing. This company is not your family’s company. It’s Edward’s blood and sweat. He built this company up and then had this hotel. Everything he’s done has been with his blood and sweat. You are just a board member. You are just an investor. How much have you even put into this company anyway for you to act like you’re high and mighty?”“I’ve put in a lot of money.”“Of course, but how much exactly? If I’m being honest, from the records I’ve seen, you barely have up to $200 million in all of his investments. But you’re the loudest one. You are the lowest on the list of investors, but you’re one of the loudest. Just because of what?”“I’ve put in my blood and sweat. Money doesn’t mean anything when you’ve put in the kind of work I’ve put in.”I gave a small nod. “Yes, that is very true. But I’ve also put in a lot of blood a

Edward’s pov“Oh, come on. Relax. You’re safe. Very soon the boss will come and meet you up.”“Safe? Boss? Who’s your boss?” I asked.The other man laughed.“It’s not my job to tell you who the boss is, but when the boss shows up, trust me, you’ll know.”I felt sick in my stomach. This was wrong. I needed to get out of here, but I was too tired. The drugs the doctors at the hospital had been pumping into my system had destroyed my will to fight. And right now, I couldn’t even defend myself against a kid if the kid wanted to kill me.Before I could say another word, there was a sharp knock on the door as the guards stiffened. They looked up.“That has to be him,” one muttered, and then they got up from their seats to open it.The last person I expected to leave me in such a situation came in… Frank Mullens.I froze where I was.“Evening, Edward,” he smiled. “Surprised to see me?”Shock went through my entire body as I tried my best to calm my nerves. It soon turned into fury. I clenche

Eloise’s povI finally put Charlotte to bed as I rubbed my temple in a tired way. The day had been exhausting. On the second day, and Edward was still missing.Where could he be? What was I going to do if he didn’t show up? Would he be alive? Would he be dead? What was he doing now?I had no idea what to say. I got up from the couch and stretched, ready to go to bed, when a loud knock shattered the silence.I looked at the time. It was past midnight. Why would anyone be knocking at my door now? My heart was jumping in my throat.The knock came again, this time louder, as my door rattled. I froze. Something was definitely wrong.I picked up a crowbar that was waiting at the door and slowly walked to the door. I waited for a while. Anybody who was an enemy would definitely be hit in the head with this.“Who is it?” I asked.I waited before hearing, “It’s Edward.”Immediately my heart flew as my face turned pale.“What the hell?”I opened the door and saw him standing there. He was all b

Edward’s pov“I don’t know about you. How about you go home to wherever home is and you meet your daughter, Camilla, or Camille, or whatever her name is, and you leave my life. I’ll pay a lot of money to go.”She scoffed. “You think I’m for sale, don’t you?”I shrugged. “Everybody’s for sale. Depends on the price. What’s your price? A million dollars? Ten? Twenty? Fifty? A hundred?”“Edward, stop. You almost died, and now you’re trying to push me away?”“Charlotte, I don’t want you. I don’t know how many times to say this, but I don’t want you. I want you out of my life. If you can do that, I’ll be really grateful.”“Well, I’m not going anywhere.”“Listen to me… ” I pulled closer to her. “Whatever you’ve done, whatever plan you’ve pulled to show up and accuse Eloise and call her name, trust me, it’s never going to happen again.”“Excuse me?”“You heard me.” My tone came out harsher than it should have, but I didn’t care. She deserved it. “You don’t just walk into someone’s house and d
